The organisers announced that this year’s winners will pocket US$2 500. Lindani Gumpo and Patricia Ganya each walked home US$1 500 richer after dominating the men’s and women’s categories respectively at Flamboyant Hotel in Masvingo.

The runners-up will get US$1 500. The third-place finishers get US$1 000 and fourth place US$500.
